    Horns

    Just looking to see if when changing to a louder horn do you change both or just one ? Have a 07 RSTD.
  3. I'd try a dealer and pay the high price they charge for a key, get one made make sure it works then try to find a locksmith to make another. Many locksmiths don't carry many bike keys if they don't get many request for them as they usually have to buy them by the box. I do like the idea if you need a new key made because the key is so bad is take off the helmet holder and let them work off that.
  4. I would get one it they changed the clock to a tach
  5. make sure to clean the top good. I then wiped with alcohol then sprayed the top. alcohol dries fast, before you can put the rag away.
  6. $60 plus + $50 shipping. and no info on what they will do? Not that I would ever put one on by bike.
  7. Nice looking pod, but will not fit on a RSTD. Fits the Venture perfect. So I'll find a Venture owner who would like one.
  8. Seen sometimes a fuse will blow but when it cools down the metal strip will touch each other and work until it heats up again. If that's all that's going out I'd just put a new fuse in and see if that works.
  9. Thinking you should stay on your side of the state when these bikes come up for sale cheap an post it for us that are too lazy to go out searching.:rotf:
  10. Guess I forgot to say I had foremost and wrecked my bike, they were fast to settle but they rip you off on the value of your extras. Leather saddle bags worth $40.00 extra lights no value, new tires no value, tank bib with pocket no value ? couple of other things I can't remember right now so when it was time to renew I changed to All State. I did have coverage for accessories.
  11. Change this to my HD is leaking oil and no one will have a response.
  12. got any pictures yet ?
  13. Where did you get this article ? would like to try posting to my facebook page.
  14. When I put up for the winter I put the sea foam in ride about mile turn the gas off and let it idle til out of gas, plug in the batt tender. when I start in the spring turn the gas on, open the gas cap turn the key hear the fuel pump work then hit the start button and it starts right up with no problem. I was told it you don't open the gas cap it can build pressure inside the tank then it will blow gas through the carbs when starting, whether that's true or not I know but my bike runs fine.
  15. Nice find. mind if I ask what you paid? Waiting on the videos.
  16. I know this is an old post but would it work on an 07 RSTD ? I'd like a tach and not have to add something else to the handle bars.

    last day

    Best way to end the big honey do list is always make her part of it. She can always help, if it's painting let her do all the trim, planting flowers get the ground ready with her out their marking the spots then let her actually put the plants in and water them. when she says she will go in and fix something to eat tell her that's a good idea, let me go in help you, I'm retired now no big hurry to get this done right now. this will slow the list's down if not eliminate them. Always have her come out to help no matter how much you would rather have her in the house and leave you alone, I hate this part but if she says she needs to go to the store say I will go with you and we can get started when we get back. oh and always do it her way with her helping so it gets done right. you will get plenty of time to enjoy your retirement if you follow these simple steps. been retired for 12yrs now and that was the best lesson I ever learned.
  18. I switched to All State for my 07 RSTD full coverage with 250,000/500.000. cost is 628.42 yr. but can get a discount if you pay in full which I do it's $584.82 a year with $500.00 deductible. bad thing is they don't offer a discount for winter storage. I do insur house and veh's also. Also I have a bad zip code (48340). 1 mile north on the main hwy is a high accident corner and I pay for that.
  19. thanks, just ordered a pack.
  20. get on a road without stop lights a freeway would be good so you can cruise 55-65 for an hour or so and have and hour or so back should give you a better idea of mpg. go for an Ice cream ride.
  21. You need to get out on the road so you can cruise for 20-30 mile to help find your mpg. stop and go is not going to help for that.
  22. I'll just stay with my Carb tune. I can read four bars easy enough and the hook up will be the same.
  23. so your not getting out of 2 gear?
  24. could try a shorter wife ?
  25. I'd still use sea foam for a few tanks to really clean the carbs, .
